How to call a event of a button thro script

[anandraj]

Hi All,
I have a HTML Page when the user clicks on the button "B" I want to call a click event of Button "A" Is it possible? Any Idea to implement this.

Thanks and Regards

Assuming "a" and "b" are in the same form something like this should do the trick:


<input name="b" onclick="this.form.a.onclick()" ...>

Don't mean to be picky here - but you can't 'call a click event'. Functions are called, not events. Button objects have a .click() method which, naturally, is callable:

<input name="B".......... onclick="A.click()">

This generates a click event on the object. You can also call event handler properties directly, as illustrated above...

That's correct, the (untested) code snippet I wrote actually calls the function which is attached to the onclick event for "a".
